RePEc in January 2011

The big news this month is that RePEc now indexes over one million items. We RePEc started, it was not imaginable that so many works would be listed. To see the evolution over the 13 years of RePEc, see the last blog post.

Over this last month, 743,140 file downloads and 2,469,187 abstract views were counted. Remarkably, while articles have been outnumbering working papers for quite some time in the database, last month they also outnumbered in terms of traffic for the first time. This shows how much more popular working papers are. Also, we welcomed 6 new archives: Ural Branch of Russian Academy of Sciences, Society for Promotion of Business Information Technology, Zeitschrift für Nachwuchswissenschafler, European University at St. Petersburg, INFORMS, and Cankaya University.
